OK, after a bit of googling and hunting around in my directory tree, I found
out that the python egg had never been unzipped; it was stored as a zipped
archive, not a directory.  So I redid the install of setuptools, with the
following command:

sudo easy_install -U -Z setuptools


This unpacked setuptools properly, and the system seemed to run just fine,
until I got to this line in setup.py

                '/sw/lib/python2.4/subprocess.py',

There is no /sw directory.


I've searched my hard drive, and there is no copy of subprocess.py except in
some old archive directories created by the GUB when installing on Windows.

I have _not_ used the GUB on my MacOS box, because I wanted to run native
and the GUB doesn't work.  Should subprocess.py have been created by the GUB
install?  Is there anyplace I can get a copy of subprocess.py to allow me to
continue testing this out?

Thanks,

Carl
